Frolic Step #2



For the second Frolic week we made rectangle blocks from neutrals and "raspberries". Instead of using strips, I used up a lot of left over charm squares making these blocks. These are from the "Miss Scarlet" charm pack. If I cut carefully I could get 6 pieces from each charm square. So happy to find a place for these leftovers!



Here are my blocks. The variety achieved when using charm squares is wonderful! 
These first 2 steps have been quick and easy. While I'm eagerly waiting for step #3, I guess I'll work on finishing some Christmas gifts!

I was thinking exactly that! It's a great variety of fabrics. Looking forward to seeing this develop

Great use of an unused Charm Pack, Kathy!! Thanks for the reminder that I have more fabric hiding in my studio than I ever imagined.

Yes I am waiting too...I think this is the first mystery that I have actually kept up with the clues and finished the work. Might not be the same when we get closer to Christmas!!

a good variety of fabric. I am saving the clues this year and will wait and see if I feel like making it later

Isn't it great to be able to use up those scraps? BTW, they are absolutely gorgeous - you are off to a lovely start.

Good choice! Wonder what Fridays Part 3 will be?? Look out, we are warned on the Quiltville FB group.

It's coming along well. I only ever started one of Bonnies mystery quilts, gave up, but have used some of the previously sewn blocks in other projects.

Love how much variety you have with basically 2 colors, red and white or off white. Pretty amazing. Will be fun to see what you end up with. It always is.
